Will no One Pray!

Let us raise up in our imaginations
an assembly on the other side of the
Atlantic of those who once had known
and had abandoned God. They are
gold-diggers and are taking their mid
day rest A new digger from the old
country has just joined them, and with
him a motherless lad. In their rough
sport they had searched the boys pock-
cts and found little Testament, the
gift of the boys dead mother. Out of
mere wantonness one of them begins
in a soothing way to read out loud, but
his fingers and eyes were guided by a
power greater than his own, for first
he read how Jesus came walking
on the sea, and then the story of the
Good Samaritan. The laughing and
oaths had ceased, and all were listening,
when the wind blew the leaves over
and the reader found himself reading
solemnly the awful tale of the cruel
fiXion-a tale well remembered, though
forgotten; old, but still new. AS he
came to the last words of the penitent
thief, and our Lords reply, the book
fell from his hands to the ground
amidst an awestruck silence, only
DIOkGu ny SUDS. COu Has Ills CuOScu
ones in every assembly of his children
he has his corner in every human heart.
A hoarse voice came up from the rear:
viii no one pray? Can no fellow
remember prayer" The echo of far
off English Sunday schools, the warn
ing throb of their own death struggle
perhaps not far distant, stirred into life
those dead hearts. The fool may have
said in his heart that there was no God,
but these ruflians were not fools and
knew better that God was near unto
them. The call was for some one to
pray, but words are not Forthcoming
unless the Spirit supplies them. As the
boy crouched forward to recover his
lost Testament he was caught up by
strong arms and ordered to pray. A:
his childish treble went up to the cleal
sky, repeating the little prayer which
he had often said at his mothers knee
hats were off and knees were bowed
and deep calm fell over the assembly
while this innocent child became the
mouth-piece of the ruflians. Not as We
had he learned to be ashamed of his in
nocence; not as yet had his lips beer
defiled with oaths and obscenities, anC
his little prayer rose up to heaven above
the tall pines. And who can say how
many brands may be saved from the
burning by the chance contact of on,
little Testament?-R N. Gust, LID.

d" Jesus is Cone"
Times.

An illiterate young man, who had
been of profane, vulgar and intemper-
ate habits, but in whom radical
change had been wrought by the Holy
Spirit, used this very forcible language
in one of our social meetings: Many
Christians take Jesus in the right hand
and the world in the left, close their
hands for season, then open them,
and behold the right hand is empty
Jesus is gone" Is not this statement
true of many processing Christians?
Alas! how frequently do the " cares
of the world and the deceitfulness of
riches choke the word and it becometh
unfruitful." How important, then,
that both hands-yea, the entire being
be filled and clothed with Christ, the
SOULS motto constantly being, " Jesus
only" and that each individual Chris
tian be able to say, " For me to live is
Christ" Thus only can he be sure
that he will not "make shipwreck of
his faith" Ma. 7.

Never Right TO Lie.

We desire to reaflirm, in this con-
nection, that which we have many
times emphasized concerning the ever
irreconcilable difference between truth
and falsehood, and the impossibility of a
lie being justifable by any person, any
where, at any time, under any circum-
stances whatsoever. A lie is a sin per
SC. No specific prohibition, in the
decalogue or out of it, is needed to
make lie sin. The sinfulness of
lie is back of the decalogue, back of
the Bible itself. 1t inheres in the very
fact of the existence of God as God.
God is truth, and truth is of God. That
which is false cannot consist with that
which is truth. God himself can neither
lie, nor can he authorize or Justify lie.
If God were to do so, he would thereby
prove himself not TO be himself, and
that is both a natural and moral i'm
possibility. There may be a question
as to what is lie, but there can be no
fair question as to the sinfulness of lie.
A man is not always bound to disclose
the truth, but he is always bound never
to lie. Toward those who are entitled
to know the whole truth from him a
man has no right to speak or act lie.
Toward those who have no Just claim
on him to a disclosure of the truth a
man can use every means in his power
except lying-in order to the conceal
ment of the truth. But lying is ever
and always a sin and crime. This
being so, it matters not what are the
consequences of refusal to lie. We
may not do evil that good may come.
Not to save ones own life, not to save
the life of others, not to save nation
motif that were a possibility-to save
universe, would lie be iustifabe.
He who consents to lie in order to COM
pass an apparent good sets himself, by
his very act of lying, against God, who
is true, and who is, in his nature, the
truth and not a falsehood. Jesus
Christ indicates the all-divding line
between truth and falsehood when he
declares that the devil is liar and the
father of a lie. A child of God, as such.
cannot lie. A liar is by the fact of his
lying follower of the devil. God can
forgive lie, but God cannot justify a
lie. So far the rule of duty is never,
never, never matter of fair doubt
whoever may say so.-Smdoy-Schooi
Times.

A Sea-ShOre Sermon.

The tide rolls up-the ripping, sunny tide;
The tossing waves throw diamonds to the SUM
They laugh about the gray old rocks and fill
The air with breezy vigor as they run.
The tide rolls out; the clouds hang dark and chill
And sadness creeps along the sea and shore;
The dripping rocks stand silent and alone,
Like solemn ghosts of days that no more.
o lifel How sweet thou art when tides flow in
when skies are bright and health is in the air,
when sunny waves cover the weary sand
And radiant hope laughs gaily at despair!
Yet sure as life there comes the ebbing tide
When JOY and hope flow backward from the shore
And dreary wastes and duh and solemn ghosts
Come in the place of the bright days of yore.
O weary heart, look upward to that shere
Where hope is lost In sight that's never dim;
There only is assurance, rest and peace,
For there forever does the tide flow in.

Conversions Through Family
Worship.

In his FireSide Mr.. Abbott tells us of
gay young lady who paid visit of a
week in the family OF a minister, an
eminently holy man. His fervent inter-
cessiOns for his children and the other
inmates of his dwelling went to this
thoughtess heart. They were the
Spirits arrow, and upon that family
altar his visitor was enabled to present
herself living sacrifice to God. 1t is
with the church in the house as with
the church in the village-the way
farer may get word in passing which
he never can forget; the stranger
that turns aside to tarry for a night may
hear at your family worship the word
that will save his soul. Some years ago
an Irish wanderer, his wife and his sis
ter asked nights shelter in the cabin
of pious school-master. With the
characteristic hospitality of his nation,
the schoOl-master made them welcome.
1t was his hour for evening worship,
and when the strangers were seated he
began by reading slowly and solemnly
the second chapter of the Epistle to
the Ephesians. The young man sat as
tonished. The expressions dead in
trespasses and sins" Children of
wrath" Walking after the course of
this world" were new to him. He
sought an explanation. He was told
that this is Gods account of the state
of man by nature. He felt that it was
exactly his own state. I" In this way |
have walked from my childhood. In
the service of the God of this world
we have come to your house" He was
on the way to fair, where he intended
to pass quantity of counterfeit money
But Gods Word had found him out.
He produced his store of coin and
begged his host to cast it into the fire,
and asked anXiously if he could not OBJ
tain the Word Of God for himself. His
request was complied with, and the
next morning, with the new treasure,
the party, who had now no errand TO
the fair, returned to their own home.
But ! cannot enumerate all the CONVEX
sions which have occurred at the church
in the house. Many servants have been
awakened there. Children have often
heard there truths which, when the
Spirit brought them to remembrance in
after days-perhaps in days of profit
gacy, and when far from their father:
hOuse-have sent home the prodigal
1t is not only of lions solemn assem-
blies, but of Jacobs humble dwell
ings-the little fireside sanctuaries-
that {" the Lord shall count when h'
writeth up the people. This man wa'
born there" In your house there have
been, perhaps, several spirits born into
this world. Have there been any borr
again.-Reu. DR.. Hamilton.

The number of a mans ancestors
doubles in every generation as his
descent is traced upward. In the first
generation he reckons only two an
cestors, his father and mother. In the
second generation the two are con-
verted into four, since he had two
grandfathers and two grandmothers.
But each of these four had two parents,
and thus in the third generation there
are found to be eight ancestors-that is,
eight great-grandparents. In the fourth
generation the number of ancestors is
IS; in the fifth, 80; in the sixth, GA; in
the seventh, 12S. In the tenth it has
risen to ,024; in the twentieth it be-
comes 1,04S, $40; in the thirtieth no
fewer than ,073, IA 1874. To ascend
no higher than the twenty-fourth gen.
Grafton we reach the sum of 16,177,-
PIG, which is great deal more than
all the inhabitants of Great Britain
when that generation was in existence.
For, if we reckon generation at thirty
three years, twenty-four of such will
carry us back 792 years, or to A. ID.
1893, when William the Conqueror had
been sleeping in his grave at Caen only
SIN years dlli MS SUI, W lllltlll L., SUI
named Rufus, was reigning over the
land. AT that time the total number
of the inhabitants of England could
have been but little more than , 200, 900,
the amount at which it is estimated
during the reign of the Conqueror. 1t
was only one-eighth of a nineteenth
century mans ancestors if the normal
ratio of progression, as just shown by
a simple process of arithmetic, had re-
ceived no check and if it had not been
bounded by the limits of the population
of the country. Since the result of the
law of progression, had there been
room for its expansion, would have been
eight times the actual population, by so
much the more is it certain that the
lines of every Englishmans ancestry
run up to every man and every woman
in the reign of William |. from the king
and queen downward, who left de-
scendants in the island, and whose
progeny has not died out there

Christianity Effective.

Christianity is vastly more than a
system of beautiful theories and moral
speculations. 1t possesses vitality,
when incarnated in personality that
is thoroughly organized by the grace
of God, which is wonderfully effectual
in a great variety of ways. Paul, in
his Epistle to Titus, says that "the
grace of God hath appeared
instructing us, to the intent that, de-
nying ungodliness and worldly lusts,
we should live soberly and righteously
and godly in this present world. "
Such instruction as this has been fol-

MANY professed Christians miss of
heavens rarest blessings because their
religion is not of sufficient depth to
reach their "pocket-books." Said an
evangelist, last winter, Get peoples
hearts right and they'll give all they
are able" Bring ye all the tithes
into the storehouse " and Render
unto God the things that are Gods, ;"
are commands that must not be dis
obeyed, even pecwaiarily, unless one
courts spiritual leanness.

lowed, and is being followed, by tens
of thousands, with effects which have
been marvel to men of the greatest
minds and The wisest of statesmen. 1t
is said that certain ones in the pres
ence of Henry Clay made some soothing
references to the character of Ameri-
can evangelical Christianity. Mr.. Clay,
with candor which characterized him,
made this reply: {" / do not know,
practically, what the churches call re-
iigion. / wish did. But do know
what ii effects" He then went on to
narrate an instance of a bitter quarrel
which occurred in Kentucky between
two neighboring families. 1t had kept
the community in state of ferment
for years. AT last it was settled by the
conversion of both parties Mr.. Clay
then said: 81 tell you that whatever
will change Kentucky feud into a fell
lowship so soon and effectively is of
God. No power short of his could do
it," This testimony is true, and one
cannot but wonder why so candid and
discerning a man as Mr.. Clay should
not have earnestly sought to obtain
that grace of God which would have
wrought its Transforming effects upon
his own soul and prepared him for a
still higher appreciation of that power
which has done so much for men.
This is one of the strangest things that
puzzle us. We are glad of the &C
acknowledgement, however, that Chris
tianity is capable of producing effects
which are conducive TO the highest
welfare of mankind and that it is pos
sessed by power which is more than
human. Reader, have you experienced
the effects of Christianity in your own
soul? If not, why not MOVIE. II.
